Platform

n, one click invitations, easy installer and updater scripts, caching resources locally, indexing and relationships across domains, authentication across domains (github.com/Qbix/auth) with seamless experience across domains and more. And then you should probably also integrate with local address books, support uploading and sync from gmail and other sources, support payments on all platforms eg applepay and androidpay, and so on. I have met teams working on other projects including MaidSAFE and Solid by Tim Berners-Lee. The missing piece is all the user-friendly apps and components. It’s a bit like when the Mac and Windows came out, personal computers finally got much more massive adoption. Or like when the Web became good enough to compete with AOL. It takes time for open source to catch up to proprietary software, but once it does, it is a force to be reckoned with. PS: If anyone wants to join our project to either contribute (design, development in PHP or JS, or grow the community) get in touch by emailing greg+hn @at@ qbix.com

PULL requests and PUSH notifications when something happens nearby. 3. So given a radius the subscriber is interested in, we set up 4 streams for SUBSCRIBERS that together (as rectangles) cover the circle surrounding the location and radius. 4. Then we also set up streams for PUBLISHERS which correspond to all the various drop-down values we have for the radius. This is compicated by the fact that we have one set for metric system and another for imperial. But we just make one stream for each of them. The more radii available the more streams you have to post to (like 10-20) but posting doesn’t happen that often and it’s better to precompute this stuff. 5. Relations between streams are one of the many features that streams do out of the box. So basically the user can just subscribe to a certain location and radius, interest, etc. and get either realtime updates or offline notifications. The item being posted is itself a stream and what’s being inserted is relations between it and the category stream the person is interested in. Thus you can also see right away who is interested in what. In the future however we plan to encrypt the data end to end so the servers won’t know this info. Then the location search will be harder.

from their Contact list where they are found. And show all the content they have already engaged with. But wait, phone numbers only have 10^7 possibilities roughly, so that’s a trivially reversible space. SO now go read about the state of the art from Signal and others and figure out your own more secure solution. And after this you want the user to download the native app so you can send notifications to them, they can upload their Contact list and find their friends, invite people easily etc. Seems easy: just redirect them to the store. But wait. You want attribution for campaigns, and you want to resume sessions. How to do it? Well you could use SFSafariViewController to get the web cookies but that’s been deprecated in iOS so now you need to to use SFAuthenticationSession. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a project that would take care of all this shifting stuff for you so you can focus on building the core of your app? Well that’s why I started Qbix initially. We keep adding free open source plugins to solve these individual problems: https://github.com/Qbix?tab=repositories Go ahead and grab them, we plan to maintain them as the OSes change since we use them in our ow apps. But this is literally the tip of the iceberg. Most of the questions have to do with social and communty features like roles, permissions, realtime sync, offline notifications, user authentication across apps, payments, and so on. If you want something that will let you develop new web based apps at record speed or support turning existing websites/apps into social apps with accounts (think turning git into github) without reinventing the wheel you are welcome to the code https://github.com/Qbix/Platform It is licensed under AGPL so if you want to keep your code private and not open source it to your website visitors then you’d have to contact us for a license, which at this point is probably like $100 a year regardless of users. But for FOSS projects and weekend stuff it’s totally free, to promote the improvements of the ecosystem. Here is the vision long term: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ1O_gmPneI Oh also we aren’t happy with the state of mobile browsers when it comes to supporting content addressable routing, verification of resources, encrypted web push notifications secure access to contacts by websites, and so on. So we are building the Qbix Social Browser: https://projects.invisionapp.com/m/share/TKHYMVSJNW2

r example, release their own social app to their Students and Tenants, and allow them to find one another and connect on their own time. (See https://qbix.com/communities). Thus we cane upon the second part of our mission: Uniting Communities 3. We realized there is actually no good open source alternative to Facebook, that communities can install the same way they can install Wordpress for blogs. We wanted to change the world and have developers and startups build social apps as easily as Wordpress plugins. We wanted communities to run our platform and apps even on a mesh network or router disconnected from the Internet - REAL decentralization, to be used in countries with censorship, or on a cruise or remote village to plan dinners, date, etc. But the world has changed since blogs and we had to build and maintain literally thousands of features, from user signup to data access to payments. We recently got a security audit by an outside firm and are proud to say that they found (and since patched) only three, very hard to exploit, vulnerabilities in the entire platform. The code is at (https://github.com/Qbix/Platform). We don't have a slogan for this part of our mission yet :) It's totally free and open source, and we will begin growing a community around it in 2018.
